Protein Ontology

Developing a Protein Ontology under the Open Biomedical Ontologies Foundry framework to capture knowledge representation of protein biology embedded in the scientific literature to facilitate pathway, network and disease modeling.

Protein Ontology Consortium, funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of Health, grant #R01 GM080646-01

NECC Cyber-Enabled Research Project

Collaborative project to sequence the little skate, Leucoraja erinacea, genome. Project supports workforce development for next generation sequencing analysis and functional interpretation. This includes hosting bioinformatics workshops, where participants learn how to use common bioinformatics applications and gain experience completing hands-on exercises

iProLink Text Mining Resource

The iProlink resource includes: BioThesaurus of gene/protein names that allows the identification of synonymous and ambiguous names and the RLIMS-P text mining system to extract phosphorylation information from Medline abstracts.

eGift: Extracting Genic Information From Text

Omics Data Integration

iProClass and iProxpress provide rich protein annotation with data from over 100 molecular databases and the underlying data warehouse for gene/protein ID and name mapping and for functional profiling and pathway analysis of large-scale gene expression and proteomic data.
